Planning for motion sensing
Typical motion sensing coverage
Motion sensor vertical and horizontal patterns
Side view Top view
For motion sensing models only—Mount the sensor
on a wall that will have an unobstructed view of the
typical trafc in the coverage area. When choosing
a location, do not install the sensor in the following
areas.
Behind curtains or other obstructions
In locations that will expose it to direct sunlight or
heat sources
Near a heating or cooling inlet or outlet.
The effective detection range is approximately 10
meters or 33 feet. Factors that may reduce the range
may include the following items.
The difference between the surface temperature of
the object and the background temperature of the
room is too small.
Object movement in a direct line toward the
sensor.
Very slow or very fast object movement.
Obstructions in the shaded area of the diagram
Typical motion sensing coverage.
False detections may be triggered by any of the
following conditions.
The temperature inside the detection range
suddenly changes because of the entry of cold or
warm air from an air-conditioning or heating unit.
The sensor being directly exposed to sunlight, an
incandescent light, or other source of far-infrared
rays.
Small animal movement.
